It's on the radio constantly out here in Euroland, kind of sub-Laibach. I don't think it's that bad to be honest. Especially the line about making decisions without your television, a classic I think, especially when GRRRRROWLED. Mercifully short, Peter PS: An excellent article about the role of chickens in popular music on Duke's Tangents website. This just happens to be one of my own pet subjects, I could contribute a long list of chicken records myself, but some journalist would probably nick them. Anyway, it was very nice to find a Tangents article seemingly written especially for me.

Sinister: I'm an alien, a legal alien..
by babyblu＠gold.globalcafe.co.uk 28 Sep '98

28 Sep '98

Here's my lovely Linda: Hello, thanks for visiting mine and Rory's little den of iniquity last Saturday! Thanks especially for all the left-overs, which we had for breakfast. LoveLindaxxx (Me again:) Yes indeed. A big hearty thank you to all who attended the inaugral indoor picnic on Saturday. The usual rouges gallery of hatchet faced villians were there, plus some new faces (Yaz, Michael you're stars!) and some old man who'd seeming just drifted in off the street and then proceeded to make lewd suggestions about cats and chocolate fingers, drink all my whisky, crank his battered acoustic guitar up to 11 and frighten the congregation with mangled renditions of the first 5 seconds of every song ever written before, in a very Stuart Murdoch-esque fashion, forgetting all the words and all the chords and cursing loudly, attempting to hurl bodily innocent onlookers from the sofa so'se he could pass out in an inelegant drunken sprawl before lovely Linda took pity on him and tucked him up with a nice cup of tea in our spare room. Oh no, hang on, that was little Stephen Trousers wasn't it? Tsch, so out of character. Also extra special thanks to Mark for being the benevolent co-host, and to lovely, lovely Andy Dean for his lovely, lovely tape. However *NO* thanks at all to whatever bugger *accidentaly* strolled off with it. On another matter entirely, would any of our American cousins in NY happen to know of any affordable-ish places to stay? We will be there around the end of October and we haven't found anywhere yet! Please mail me privately with any suggestions.

I guess one would have to interpet what you mean by poor, but if you are talking economics, you are simply incorrect. Why would you not instead think urban to signify the sonic, social, spatial, and economic milieu that produces a certain kind of music. I think, its an interesting way to classify things (as long as you don't use it too reductively and use it based on hard observations and not prejudices)- geography, when used in conjunction with other things, can be extremely informative in understanding the multi-dimensionlaity of an individual or group. any way, enough of that. .scott +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: More exciting Tape Tree Info
by Julie_Smith＠iacnet.com 28 Sep '98

28 Sep '98

Hey everyone. Three of our fellow listee friends and I have decided to er, branch off and start our own tape-tree! Obviously it would be even more fun (hard to believe, isn't it?) with a few more people so anyone interested in joining in should e-mail me privately. C'mon, join in. . .it'll be fantastic! Really! I also want to publicly thank all of you who have taped Tigermilk for new listees. It's so nice to be able to sample something which is out of print and and only available through other people's generosity. I really appreciated getting my copy, which I've already almost worn out from over-playing. YAY for all of you nice people.

Sinister: Last word on the Violent Femmes?

You'd have a tough time finding a > white American between the ages of 18 and 30 who doesn't know the mid > section of "Kiss Off" by heart. That's about the size of it. I'm on a VF mailing list, as they play over here very infrequently, and it's the only way I get to find out when, but it seems that they're biggest in the States and Australia. In fact, from their tour list, it seems that there can't be many people left in the US who haven't seen them live! Though they do put on a good set (but perhaps a bit raucous for the twee cardigan wearers around here ;) Essentially they're not that well known in the UK (though I did once go to a curry house in which the sitar tape started with a song that had the same opening phrase as their first album!), so we've yet to get sick of hearing them, as a nation. My post was just to suggest that other listees might want to check out the eponymous album, as it has the most crossover with B&S's style of any of their albums. Their best single track, though, has to be "Hey Nonny Nonny" from their fourth album: the lyrics were taken fron a 16th century poem by "The Shepherd Tony"!!!!
